Speaking of Christmases alone, a few years ago, a man I was seeing stood me up on Christmas Eve, telling me his sister in St. Louis had died. She was still very much alive. Obviously, he had some one else.

Does anyone have any creative, legal, revenge ideas?

I know it is low but it would make me feel so much better.

Best to forget about it and move on. Thoughts of revenge will only eat you up inside. By the sound of it you have had a lucky escape.

He's not a man. Men don't do that to Womenfolk. Just because someone's got an outie instead of an innie Dosen't make them a man. Are you a good person? Okay then, theres your revenge. Resentment is only self punishment with a fancy name, so stop beating up on yourself. You know that creep dose'nt deserve your attention anyway .

Thanks, Achtung. I saw him a two years ago. He was a wreck. Unkempt and in the grasps of a gambling addiction. He has two bookies and explained his fail-proof system of making money betting on football games. He inherited a small fortune from his father and probably wasted the whole thing on gambling.

Growing up, the holidays were no fun. Suffice it to say, I lost the Christmas spirit years ago. My family is still alive and fairly well relatively speaking. Not too long ago, I had a revelation. I realized that while my family ruined many Christmases in the past, not to mention Thanksgiving, I realized that unless I did something the memory of all those past horrible holidays would ruin all my future ones. I would make Christmas my own.

Christmas is about giving - I don't mean expensive gifts or buying out toy stores. It means kindness and selflessness for that one day at least. My brother and his girlfriend used to answer letters "To Santa" that the post office keeps. He delivered bags of groceries to a needy family and toys to another. (He does not share my views, but that is beside the point.) Another friend is a single female and she spends the day giving of herself by delivering food to the elderly. Two friends, one who is single and the other divorced, keep Christmas in their own way - they treat themselves to gifts they wrap for themselves, they each make a wonderful traditional meal (she makes a yorkshire pudding and roast beef, homemade mince pies with brandy butter; I forgot what he cooks come to think of it ).

This year, I chose to "do Christmas" for the first time and give an open invitation to those friends of mine who are either alone or whose families are just as unbearable as my own or those who would just like to spend Christmas in a friendly setting with good food, good stories, and 3 cats. A jolly time had by all.

And I had my best Christmas present ever - my elderly and sickly kitty came home from the hospital and spent Christmas at home. Her Christmas present was a taste of my friend's trifle - the whipped cream.
